My doubt
If there is no passenger in the passenger seat, which means the seat belt is not connected, then will the passenger side airbag deploy?

In some cars, Airbags will deploy only if the seat belt is worn. In some cars they inflate by default. But if you don't want the airbag to deploy, best thing is to off it. However Seat belts save the passengers 95%. So, wearing it when the airbag deploys minimizes the impact.

Went to KHT motors and Prerana BTM branch yesterday. I am planning to book the Zest XMS RT

KHT Motors Domlur
The guy was not confident with his answers. He told Voice command is available in XMS. I was a bit shocked and I asked again. Then he told there is a second generation XMS available now which has Voice command facility - Prerana Motors said that is false info.

As per KHT the onroad is 7.2Lakhs

They told the AMC shown in rate card is Gold which is around 16k. Then I asked about silver AMC and he told there is no such thing.

Prerana
The guy was more professional. He explained everything and the on road price quoted is same. AMC shown in rate card is Gold (~16k) and Extended warranty is ~8k. For the month of May AMC has a discounted figure which is less than 10k. For bolt there is free insurance offer but not for Zest.

The insurance quoted is ~22k. I just wanted to know if this is B2B...

BTW I am 6ft tall and my head almost misses the roof by just 2 inch or so if I am sitting in the rear

so then you can go ahead with prerana motots. But I heard KHT motors also good but after seeing your post I am little disappointed with their misinform on vehicle.

Just noticed today that my engine immobiliser indication in the display comes on when I switch off the engine and take key out. Is this normal?? does the icon keep blinking when engine is off, key removed and all doors are locked after exiting vehicle??

No, But you can opt from outside for zero dep and b2b insurance and you can check online. You will get good quote then you can decide.

Thanks dude
The insurance quoted by dealer is ~22k and B2B is ~24k in ROyal Sundaram for Zest XMS RT in Bangalore so I was surprised how the dealer quotes lesser than the Insurance company official site

Booked Zest XMS RT yesterday
Bangalore On road is 7.15Lakhs @Prerana Motors BTM
May month discounts
Silver AMC free first 3 years (earlier it was 2 years it seems), Warranty extended for 3rd year also so no need to take 3rd year extended warranty.

No freebies, no discounts from dealer. Argued with the SA for more than 30 minutes, but no use.

Just gave the booking amount of 21k. The sales guy is forcing me to pay full down payment so that he can raise invoice. I am not sure if this is the custom.

Surely, car buying experience is worst in Bangalore. They ask for full payment by saying that, this, blah blah, and then force you to wait for more days. I never liked buying a car in Bangalore and neither will I ever do it. Just keep on resisting mate, if he questions something, buy it somewhere else outside Bangalore.

Anyone bought National Insurance B2B for your Zest in Bangalore? Sales Exec told me that they have tie ups with Tata AIG and National Insurance for cashless... The dealer quoted 24.5k but I am sure I will get it much cheaper if I buy directly online. Which is your insurance

Need an advice, i have booked zest here in kolkata but unable to decide the insurance to choose.
Unlike Maruti, i have been told that it's dealer who has tie-up with the insurance companies.
Now dealer gave me option of National Insurance, United India, Reliance, future generalli and icici.
Now even if i choose from outside which insurance to opt for?

Hi,
I have taken in online from Bharti AXA quoted 21,950Rs b2b. TATA AIG also same price quoted. You can take online better instead of at dealer in general they will quote more. And mine is XMS diesel.
